Sanjay Dutt’s Role In ‘Zanjeer’ Extended

An overwhelming response to Sanjay Dutt’s look in the Zanjeer remake has compelled director Apoorva Lakhia to rework the actor’s role as Sher Khan in the film.

Sanjay plays the iconic role of Sher Khan, a character made famous by Pran in the original film. According to source, after Sanjay’s negative character as Kaancha Cheena in Agneepath, his new look as Sher Khan has attracted a lot of interest, therefore, the director decided to adding a song and few action sequences featuring Sanjay.

We are very excited about the film. I am really happy to work with Sanju sir again after Shootout At Lokhandwala in 2007,” Lakhia said in a statement.

Zanjeer also stars Priyanka Chopra and Ram Charan Teja, and is slated to release on 10th May, 2013.
